Supporting Russell Bede
There are many ways you can help support Russell Bede:
Capital Campaign
Our most recent capital campaign to build a new computer lab was a success. We are now embarking on a new $6,000 campaign to improve our gym facilities with additional equipment and a par course to help our children gain strength and coordination. This will expand our physical education program and benefit the children tremendously. For more information or to donate, contact the main office.
School Sponsored Sales
The Russell Bede School Parent Teacher Organization periodically sponsors fundraisers, including sales of candy, coffee, holiday wreaths and more. To support any of these sales, contact a student, a parent or the main office.
Annual Fundraiser and Auction
The Russell Bede School Parent Teacher Organization organizes an annual fundraising dinner and auction each Spring to raise money for expenses that are not covered by tuition. Family, friends, alumni and other supporters are all welcome.
In addition, we are currently accepting donations for auction items: Hotel and restaurant coupons, gift baskets, services, vacation homes, sporting tickets, outings and more. For tickets or more information on how to donate, contact the main office.
Endowment Fund
The Russell Bede School Board is currently setting up the Helen Myers Endowment Fund, named after its founder. This fund will provide scholarships for students whose families are unable to finance full tuition. For more information or to donate, contact the main office.
